Pyjama Party!!

Seeing as the weather is wet and gloomy I think I'll stay in my pyjamas all day! Thanks to Karen who has created the most exciting vibe for a sew along, means we all should be in our pyjamas today, and what's better is that they are all shiny new, hand made lovelies!!!

Karen talked many of use through how to make pyjamas and now they should all be on show so go and see Karen's beautiful set then surf the blog http://didyoumakethat.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/pyjama-party-goes-live/
My own pyjamas are a from two different patterns. The top I have actually already made four other versions for the OWOP project so no. five was easy! And like the pattern said so where the bottoms, although if you had a wider bottom I don't think you would have that much space!

When they where finished I felt so pleased, I really took my time and made nice seams and ect ect and the end result is something I love, far to often I have to learn to love what I make. So so excited we had a really fun photo shoot!

Everyone seemed to get very excited about my new pj's. The fabric is a light weight cotton, which had a previous life of a duvet cover. I really like the way it had a more intense pattern at the bottom of the legs.

And this is the book I'm reading, it's wonderful! I recommend it. I am also on Good reads should any of you want to join me and become friends http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8180872-charlotte I always have a few reference books on the go too, this is the latest.

I love the pajamas (and I especially love the variations in the density of the flowers!), but I didn't understand what you meant about the reason you used two patterns (and I don't know what OWOP means...sorry!)...great refashion!
